Liked: This was by far the best place we stayed at during 6 weeks travle (although one of the most expansive ones as well). The room was nice decorated and very clean. The shower was exceptional (clean, warm, great pressure)! The staff was super helpful in helping to plan sightseeing and evrything else (we mentioned we like mangostene and the next day they got some for breakfast!). Also we liked the location and neighborhood, and the fact that you have BTS and MRT close by.

Jerry would recommend this property

Liked: The staff were very knowledgeable about how to get to various locations using the light rail, where to eat, etc. They were super friendly, spoke nearly flawless English, and extremely helpful. We booked a private ensuite and the room was very large ~ could have served as a small apartment. Facilities were clean, soap, shampoo and large towels were provided. The location was GREAT; lots of places to eat nearby, and the light rail was within a ten-minute walk. Free wi-fi available in the rooms.

Disliked: Biggest negative was that it was nearly impossible for our driver to find. He cruised alleyways and side passages for 20 minutes before stumbling upon it. We had the map and instructions printed in Thai and he still had a hard time. Some people may find it lacking in atmosphere as there is no bar or common area to hang out in, but hey, this is Bangkok. You don't go to Bangkok to hang out in your hostel.

Liked: Most helpful staff in the world. Very clean & quiet. Totally chilled. Not a place to meet other travellers & in a quiet area & a bit away from things but very close to the sky train.

Disliked: Not a party hostel - but we weren't looking for one.

Liked: Excellent staff. Very helpful and super nice. Location was lovely, internet worked well and rooms were simple and clean. Excellent value. Would definitely stay there again. Nice that it's located right by both the BTS (Saladeng) and the MRT (Silom). Lots of great street food around too on Silom.

Disliked: I was traveling with someone, but if you are interested in meeting other travelers, this is probably not the place to do it.

Liked: Location was great due to proximity to the sky train and metro stations. Night markets and street food were within walking distance. The owner was extremely helpful and went above and beyond with every request (I even got a cupcake with a candle for my birthday). Breakfast was simple but nice.

Disliked: A little bit difficult to find - even our Thai driver struggled to find it and had to stop to ask a couple of people where to go. On the other hand it is at the end of a quiet street.

Liked: Brilliant guest house, we had such a good stay we extended by 2 more days in their economy room on the top floor. The decor was modern clean and fresh, and a light breakfast and all day tea and coffee were available. The staff were extremely helpful, really could not have asked for more. The building is also very secure with a door entry system

Disliked: The location is great for Metro and Skytrain as well as the major shopping areas but is quite far from the main centre (Temples and Ko Sang Road etc. ) Still, its only about 55bhat each to get there via sky train and ferry or 100 - 200 for a taxi.

Liked: The best thing about urban house was the staff were so exceptionally friendly and helpful, they gave us great advice and directions for everything!
The rooms were more like a hotel room than hostel room (I stayed in the suite) it was so spacious and sunny and very very clean! I would definitely recommend to anyone.
The hostel is walking distance from shopping malls, patpong markets, massage and beauty salons. It was located really close to the MRT train station, and only one stop from MBK shopping centre. There were lots of street stalls and a really local market right on the street Urban House was located on.
I will definitely come back here if I come back to Bangkok! :)

Disliked: Nothing to dislike! If you are looking for a really social hostel though this may not be the best place to meet other travelers, it is more of a relaxed peaceful atmosphere (a nice break from Bangkok!)

Jonathan would recommend this property

Liked: Very good, definitely recommend. I've never bothered writing a review ever, but considering how cheap and yet how good it was I am bothering now. The staff are incredibly helpful up to the point where you can just quiz them for hours in perfect English. They were also gracious enough not to accept a rather large tip stating it was 'too much'.
Good air con, clean rooms, wifi, fridge, water, breakfast, constant fruit and hot drinks for only 5 euroes a day.. very good

Disliked: location was a little tough to find at first, but actually it turned into an advantage because the hostel is a stones throw away from both the sky link train and the underground meaning you can pretty much access any part of the city.

Liked: Good location, near most touristic "must sees", but also quiet at night. We stayed at the suite, which was equiped with kitchen, air con, hot shower. I definitely recomend the place as I think it is good value for money. The staff is also extremelly friendly and will help you with tips of what to see, how to get there and watch outs. Definitely recommend this place!

Disliked: the hotel is very clean, but walking down that same street at night we did see many cockroaches on the street at night.
